I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

It does not seem like this software is being updated or maintained anymore. There are various launchers and panels available for various versions of Linux Mint that you can install and try "cairo dock" is a good panel with launcher option.

In the link below is another link to a deb file that supposedly works for Linux Mint 18.x based on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial 64-bit only, but it did not work for me, but I found others below.
Install Ubuntu 16.04 either PPA or gdebi doesn't work · Issue #136 · qdore/Mutatehttps://github.com/qdore/Mutate/issues/136

I tried these links below on my Linux Mint KDE 18.2 64-bit and they did not work, missing dependency "libboost-regex1.55-dev", and I have version "libboost-regex1.58-dev" installed. I even tried compiling their source code and it failed.

You have no idea how much this has helped! I went ahead and installed Albert. For whatever reason, the keyboard binding won't work via its settings. Nonetheless, it has good features and works wonderfully fast.

Truth be told, I thought launchers referred to something else entirely. I didn't think the actual utility itself (like unity dash) was called a launcher.

I additionally installed Synapse (for kicks) but it doesn't seem to be working at all on 18.2. For some reason I have to type in some code into the terminal for it to even let me get input.

Aside from Albert's minor glitch, I'd say this was a success. I got to learn something too.
